Jeremiah 10

²¹ For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.

²² Listen! The sound of a report is coming—a great commotion from the land to the north. It will make the cities of Judah a desolation, a haunt for jackals.

²³ I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps.

²⁴ Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice—not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

²⁵ Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, and on the families that do not call on Your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off; they have devastated his homeland.
